lyrics

last working day of the year
construction equipment is quiet
roads are clear
and it feels like a snow day that
developed a low grade fever
manifesting in slow rain

still i'll take this day and
grind it between my teeth
like temporary crown molding
destroy immediately
if found holding
oh we're old enough to know better
but we don't
and i won't ever
leave you alone

and we won't stop moving
if we stop moving we will set

anywhere i go
isn't safe
anywhere i am
isn't safe from me

i'm giddy and charged
a scrambled bus
rambles past us to the city garage
i'm taking a break from
selling my mind
several cells at a time
to make a living at large
the best still ahead of me
though my chest filled with cement debris
i'm home, i won't leave you alone

and we won't stop moving
if we stop moving we will set

anywhere i go
isn't safe
anywhere i am
isn't safe from me
